Someone put the Sharongate reveal episode on YouTube, too bad they didn't put the episodes that came before it though.

The new Moons have finally been cast (THEY ARE EVERYWHERE OH NOEEEZZZZ!!!), and while rumors of Gary Lucy and Matt Willis kept up, they went for two lesser known actors. One of them reminds me of the gorgeous Jake Hendricks.

I do wonder about that. Wasn't there a rumor one was for Jodie?

Some are saying they're just like Danny/Jake. Others like Phil/Grant.

It's so tough for Eastenders to introduce new characters, especially in this age range.

Today's episode; goodness it's always so refreshing when we get these scenes focused on the dysfunction of the Brannings, especially with Carol involved.

Rainee is quite clingy, I hope though the show becomes interested in changing that, over time of course. I really like the actress.

No big surprise, Mercy is being written out.

I don't think they ever quite knew what to do with the original E20 gang. Fatboy only really caught on when he became friends with Dot, whereas the others were really isolated and had no real involvement with anyone else.

I'm sorry they had to let her go. I still remember how she quietly and easily stole E20 from the marble-mouthed, posturing, old-looking Zsa Zsa, who was groomed as being their new Stacey knockoff. Mercy had a real spark in that E20 and was a much-needed contrast to the usual wooden shouters like Zsa Zsa and Lucy. After that it never quite clicked, perhaps because the young women on the show now are much quieter and more introspective, like Mercy. They also never bothered to integrate her into the cast, as they have not done with any new characters in many years.

I wonder what they will do with Fatboy. They seem to be struggling there.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
